In this land live two different cults : the religious faith, and the money and sumptuousness.Religious worship:The Terengannu City, is 500 km. of the nation's capital, Kuala Lumpur. In this metropolis, you can openly, appreciate the great sense of religion that surrounds this country.This city does not exist even a single bar in which to drink a beer. In the world of Islamic culture, that spirit is saying bad words.Those caught drinking it look, at serious risk of being imprisoned.
In Malaysia, the Islam is the official religion, and this city, the site with one of the highest rates of Muslim population : more than ninety percent. On the other hand, is also home to Hindus, Chinese and local ethnic groups, all living in harmony.
One place that clearly shows the exacerbation of religious feeling is the construction of the theme park Taman Tamadun Edutainment Park.
There, you can see reproductions of a dozen monuments related to the Arab world and mosques.
But the most impressive work, is not a reproduction, but a construction real: the impressive Crystal Mosque.
The Beach and the sumptuousness
At the other end of the country, in the Northeast area and very close to the border with the neighboring country of Thailand , stands the Langkawi archipelago, a group 99 islands beautiful.
Crystal clear waters, rivers, mangroves and beaches of your dreams. Here lives the exuberance of nature, which form this paradise, and which is established as the appeal of this tourist spot.
And here it, we can find bars where you can have some drinks, as well as nightclubs. Here in Langkawi, you can get alcohol, and cigarettes at bargain prices, because a site is tax free.
The imprint religious, so marked throughout Malaysia, also live here, despite all these earthly temptations.
The tourist of the large Middle East oil powers, usually visit these lands, is here, very happy. There are drawbacks to enjoy, because their customs are respected.
Enjoy strolling through the tropical beaches, where the mean annual temperature is 30 degree C, much lower than 40 ° they must endure in their desert homelands.
Dressed in bathing suits and modern clothes, walk with their women, dressed in the black burka, the garment that covers controversial in its entirety, revealing only their eyes.
Malaysian women are also covered, but unlike the others, their colorful dresses and scarves cover their hair, but not their faces.
In a tour of the capital, Kuala Lumpur, we came to the imposing presence of the emblem and national pride: the famous Petronas towers that rise 450 meters from the ground.
In order to upload to these impressive towers, it should be a long line early, as space is one thousand visitors daily. You can reach the 88th floor at the top, or the walkway connecting the two towers, at 42.
In this building are the offices of several companies ( the state oil company Petronas, or the local branch of Microsoft, among others), and the Suria Mall Kentuki, well known as a shopping paradise.
This is one of many that exist in the city. Only in the downtown area of Bukit Bintang there are a dozen malls.
The transportation to explore the city, is the monorail. This fantastic electric train from a very modern design, winds aloft, giving together with the skyscrapers that touch so distinctive that they have the ultra modern cities.
